On the Lüneburg Heath there are six womens convents which are still alive as protestant convents (after the reformation) until today. In their archives respectively in libraries abroad there are lots of music manuscripts of the middle ages almost unknown today which are in their singularity of enormous importance not only for the music history but the history of convents in northern Germany in general.
The Hanoverian musician Prof. Ulrike Volkhardt and the music historian Dr. Ulrike Hascher-Burger undertook a first sighting of the musical material in all convents on the Lüneburg Heath. On the basis of scientifical recognition they put the middle aged music into the context of the „devotio moderna“, transcribed and instrumented the pieces.
Well bases sience, artificial practice and knowledge in mediation of both aspects work here together fruitfully. So for the recordings middle aged musical instruments were reconstructed and learned to play. Selected muscial examples are now, interpreted by the Ensemble devotio moderna, for the first time made accessable for the public on the label CANTATE. Every CD of this series has it‘s own theme. Besides music devoted to the daily life of the convent one liturgical high feast has it‘s special focus. The series is accompagnied by detailed, illustrated booklets which inform in all aspects of this singular musical culture.
